Did You Know...

Edible THC products take longer than smoked marijuana to have an effect. Smoking takes just seconds to minutes. But a THC edible typically takes 30 to 60 minutes after being eaten and digested. The peak effect happens 3 to 4 hours after ingesting. Someone experimenting with THC edibles might not feel the effects as quickly as expected. They might ingest large amounts to try to "get high." This leads to overdosing. Here is more information on the dangers of Marijuana edibles.

Senior Portraits 

Legacy Studios is returning to Langley Sept 26-29 for make-up and re-take senior portraits. Students must make an appointment with Legacy Studios. This is the last opportunity for seniors to be included in the yearbook. Seniors not photographed will be listed in the yearbook as “Not Pictured.”

Saxon Service - September 28th

Students Can Earn One Hour of Service Credit During School

The first Saxon Service of the school year is Thursday, September 28th, in the Cafeteria during Langley Links. Saxon Service offers interested students the opportunity to engage in a variety of service-learning projects while earning one hour of service-learning credit.

Please encourage your student to participate! While not required, all students are encouraged to participate in some kind of service while at Langley. It's an opportunity to relax, socialize, and reap the positive social emotional benefits associated with helping others in need. Students who engage in at least 40 hours of service during his or her high school career (10 hours per year) are eligible to earn a Service Cord to be worn at graduation.

If you are interested in becoming a Saxon Service parent volunteer, please contact Julie Zimmerman Hohl, LHS Family LIaison at  [email protected]

Howdy Saxons,

It’s been a rip-roaring good time in Saxon Country during our homecoming week. To support our HoCo Rodeo theme, we’ve rounded up some mighty good news for this week’s message. Let’s get to it, Partner!

Congratulations to our National Merit Commended students. Sixty-two Saxons earned this distinction!

Congratulations Langley golf, once again- Liberty District Champs!

Thank you to the Langley PTSA for sponsoring presenter Sam Anthony who shared his Inside Out Fitness message with students.

We were thrilled to welcome to Saxon Country National Association of Secondary School Principals President Aaron Huff (left) and CEO Ronn Nozoe (right) along with association staff!

Adam Sandler day was a hit with Mr. Kobele and Mrs. Berger!

Barbenheimer was the all the rage!

Ingenuity was shown as students used anything but a backpack on Wednesday!

This afternoon’s pep rally was the perfect way to top off a splendid week!

Best of luck to our football team as they take on Lightridge this evening in our homecoming game. As previously shared by Superintendent Reid, due to the pending weather event, all FCPS activities are canceled for tomorrow. I wish each of you a safe and blessed weekend.

Fondly,

Did You Know...

Jen Zamzow, Ph.D from Psychology Today writes- “Have you ever started out the school year excited for all the memories you’ll make with your kids, only to find yourself barely hanging on by Christmas? What starts out feeling manageable somehow morphs into an endless cycle of activities and responsibilities and the never-ending taxi driving.” Here are some tips on making the school year sustainable.

Greetings Saxons,

Welcome to the 2023-24 school year. As we prepare for Monday, teachers and staff are eagerly awaiting the return of students to the building. Many hours of work and preparation have been put in to ensure a fantastic start for each student. Our goal for the year is to provide rich learning opportunities and incredible outcomes for all.

As students return to Langley, there are some items to keep in mind.

• Construction on Georgetown Pike/495 is ongoing. Please plan accordingly if you plan to drop off your student or you have a student driver.
• For those utilizing Kiss and Ride, please follow the established traffic pattern.
• Upon entering the main lot, proceed to the far right.
• Make a left at the row parallel to the stadium.
• Turn left and proceed to Door 14 for drop off.
• Langley Oaks is not to be used for student drop off or pick up.
• Only seniors with a driver’s license and no outstanding school obligations will be eligible to purchase parking permits.
• We are working to determine how many spaces may be available for junior drivers. Please be patient as we work through this process.
• We have a closed campus. Once students arrive on property, they may not leave until the end of the school day.
• Please keep your student home if they aren’t feeling well. While learning is important, we must do all we can to keep our student body well.
• When your student is absent, or if they need to arrive late or leave early, please follow the procedures outlined on the  attendance page of the school website.
• Please remind your student of the updated expectations related to cell phone usage during the school day.
• Students in grades 9-12: Phones must be silenced and put away during all instructional periods. Phone accessories are also to be silenced and away when phone use is prohibited. Smart watches that serve a dual purpose may be worn, but the phone features (texting, Internet viewing, and calls) are to be off when phone use is prohibited. Phones can be stored in a locker or backpack during the day. Students are prohibited from using phones, tablets, and other mobile devices in restrooms and locker rooms, unless there is a medical necessity or emergency.  Teachers may allow usage of cell phones for instructional activities when appropriate. Cell phones may be used on campus before the first bell, after the last bell, during passing periods, and lunches.
• If your student has forgotten, their cafeteria PIN number, there will be assistance available during all lunches on Monday.
• Food deliveries are not allowed during the school day.

Now that we’ve gotten the reminders out of the way, I would like to officially welcome our freshmen and transfer families to Langley High School. We are thrilled that you’re here. We will do all we can to ensure that your student has a phenomenal high school experience. We look forward to meeting you and getting to know you over the course of the school year. If there’s anything that you or your student needs, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

It was wonderful to welcome new students to Saxon Country during yesterday’s orientations. Thank you to all of the students, staff, parents and coaches who helped to make them an overwhelming success. We hope students and families found the event helpful. Here are a few pictures from the events.

I wish each of you a fantastic weekend. Here’s to a great year!

Fondly,

Health Information Form

Emergency Care Form

Your School Health Room services include:

1. Care of sick and injured students according to school guidelines.
2. Hearing and vision screening (grades K, 3, 7, 10, new to FCPS schools and those students referred by teachers and parents).
3. Administration of care for students with identified problems/conditions during the school day.
4. Coordination of care for students with identified problems/conditions during the school day.

How can you help your School Health Room provide the best possible care?

• Advise the School Health Aide and Public Health Nurse of any special health concerns.
• Immediately notify the PE teacher if your child has any PE restrictions.
• Provide current home, work, and alternate telephone numbers for the Emergency Care Information form. Generally, a student may remain in the clinic for 15 minutes. After that, if he or she is still feeling ill, parents will be called to take the student home.
• Keep sick children home. It is difficult to concentrate or do schoolwork when not feeling well.
• Children who have fevers (temperature of 100.4 degrees), vomiting or diarrhea are not able to remain in school. It is best for children to be at home for 24 hours after these conditions resolve.
• When medication must be administered during the school day, follow the medication policies.
• Complete the FCPS Medication Authorization form.
• Provide the school with properly labeled containers (your pharmacist will usually provide an extra container if you request it).
• Medications must be transported to and from school by a parent.
• Medications must be kept in the school Health Room or other school approved location.

Thank you for your cooperation and assistance in helping to make this a safe and healthy school year for all FCPS students.

All students will have the option to check-out a Fortis 14 inch G10 Chromebook to use for instruction. Students must follow the FCPS Device Use Guidelines for these devices. Resources to help students get familiar with using a Chromebook will be available in the Langley HS Student Schoology course. Support for these devices will also be outlined in our Langley HS Student Schoology course.

If students would prefer to bring their own device and that device meets our minimum requirements, they may do so. BYOD students should not take an FCPS laptop. The Langley HS technology team will provide an FCPS device for testing as needed to cover students who are not assigned a Langley device. FCPS strives to be good stewards of our taxpayer funds, while also minimizing our longer-term environmental impact. Making sure FCPS devices are being used where they are truly needed is crucial to that stewardship.

ALL students should be aware that they are expected to adhere to the Acceptable Use Policy for Student Network Access outlined FCPS Student Rights and Responsibilities at Langley High School.
